Sustain for LH Voice

[anandmaloo]

Hi,

I dont have a sustain pedal. when I press the sustain button on my Genos 1, it affects only the RH voices. How do I activate the sustain for LH voices without the pedal.

Regards

Press Direct Access, then step on your sustain pedal, then check "Left"; you'll probably see Right1, 2, 3, all checked, and Left unchecked. So check the tickbox next to "Left"

Mark,

He said he DOESN'T have a sustain pedal.
I just tried on my Genos1 I couldn't find where to set the panel sustain to the left voice. There has to be a way.
You can get a pedal on Amazon for under $10 USD

I think there's no way.

The thing is, for RH voices we have SUSTAIN button on panel and when it's activated, we get desired amount of sustain (depending on "Panel Sustain" setting in Voice Edit).
For LH voice, we have LEFT HOLD button instead. The problem (in this case) is, the "Panel Sustain" value isn't used (is disabled in Voice Edit) and the value 127 (max sustain) is automatically applied.

Thanks for your responses. The irony is that I HAD a sustain pedal but I never used it because I was playing with accompaniment. So I gifted it to my brother.

Now that I am learning piano style playing, with both hands, I need it !!!

Anyways, will try to buy one soon.

Thanks again

On the SX720, you can also assign the footswitch's sustain function to one of the assignable buttons. There, you can then select "LEFT," as Mark described.

However, if I understand the Genos1 Reference Manual correctly this doesn't seem to be possible with the Genos1.

Once you set to full keyboard (or AI full keyboard) which you would do for piano playing, all notes played, left or right, get sustained by the pedal. And of course you can still drive accompaniment with full keyboard piano playing.

Sorry if you already knew this. But when you see piano sheet music, with two staves, really that's just indicating which notes to play with the left and which to play with the right. In reality there is no split between "left" and "right" on the piano keyboard - the music can have you play the *exact* same key with a different hand (e.g. left hand middle C is written on the line above the bass clef stave, right hand middle C is written on the line below the treble clef stave, but it's the same key)

So it's not really true to say you need to apply LH and RH sustain separately - when playing as piano, you only want to have R voices active over the whole keyboard.
